Hello All,
I am new to pfBlockerNG and anytime I install pfBlockerNG it slows down my internet speed. Can someone give me the steps for the optimized settings?
Thank you.

@BobAce by itself it doesn’t slow down anything since it’s not in the traffic flow like Suricata etc. What are you blocking with it? Are you using DNSBL?
-
@SteveITS Thank you. Yes, all default configuration, but it slows my internet speed by 45%. Yes, I am using DNSBL. Please see the attached pics.

@BobAce So just feeds? How much RAM is used/free in your router? What CPU is it? And what is your ISP speed normally?
-
@SteveITS Thank you so much! Please see attached. But I think wired connection to my internet is much better, wireless slowed down.
-
@BobAce are you using pfSense as your access point? Usually external is better.
-
@SteveITS Thank you. After the updates, everything runs up to speed.

@BobAce what updates?
